"Hi, I am Nipa Banerjee from Art Space India, talking on behalf of Expert Village. I am going to tell you about the preparation of dyes. Dyes are made up of plaster of palace, but this plaster of palace is common sheer plaster of palace because plaster of palace has a power of absorption of water, so we made all of our dyes with plaster of palace. First we have to make our master item. This is a box which can be used in the kitchen to keep spices. How to make a dye of this box. The lid is different and the lower portion is like this. This is the master and we are making dyes out of this. Now we have to make a boundary with tin or any hard thing, because when we pour liquid for our soft palace, it will not poor out of the boundary. So we are making a boundary. In that boundary we are pouring liquid palace. After pouring plaster of palace we have to wait for some time, and when the plaster of palace is hard, we will remove the tin from the outside of the dyes and we will take out the master piece from the inside of this mold. And now this type of dye is ready. In this dye we have to scratch the portion and make a key ornate. And after making this key, we have to put another piece of tin here and put plaster of palace on it. Now we are making a lid for this, and this key will be covered by this portion. Now the total dye is ready. Thank you."
